Poem for Apr 11



Acarya's Writing

Padyavali, Anthology of Devotional Poetry
Srila Rupa Gosvami

Tatra pura-strinam vakyam
Words of the Women of Mathura When
Lord Krishna Entered the City

Verse 321

The same intensely blissful,
limitless, eternal, unborn
Supreme Brahman, whom
the yogis worship
in a trance of meditation
in order to directly see
for a moment,
was completely conquered
by the fortunate young girls
of Vraja. Hundreds of times
they happily spoke with Him,
kissed Him, and embraced Him.

– Sri Vahinipati
